1t will increase the profits of the
manufacturers to the mount Of the
reduction taken off OF the raw mate
rails they manufacture. If you
want to benefit the people, the la
born people, the poor people, and
the consumers reduce the tariff on
their blankets hats, shoes, wooden
ard cotton fabric, farming uteEsiI Of
every kind AMI all necessaries Of
life, so that they can purchase these
articles at reduced price. Protect
ION means to compel the consumers
Of manufacturers 10 pay to the man
ufacturer fifty or one hundred per
cent profit on his goods, instead OF
! fifteen or thirty per cent. Protec-
! ton in q Tariff sense means that we
shall pay the manufacturer for his
goods two prizes instead of one, 1t
means that the people must be kept
poor and the manufactures must be
kept rich at the expense Of the peo-
pie and the con umers. 1t means
in this country That the gOTernme ht
will take without compensation from
the rockets OF one class to put III
the pockets of another cl9sS. 1t
means here in America that the gov
eminent will under cover of law, rob
the Door for the benefit of the rich,
The many for the benefit Of the few.
Protection means low prices foI
what we have to sell and high prices
for what we have TO buy. 1t means
We shall sell our farm and mcch8nl-
cal products in the lowest markets
in the world and buy our supplies
in the highest markets. 1t means a
rich ruling class and poor mlsera-
BILE ruled class. It means master
and slave both of the sape race and
blood. 1t means all these things
and more besides. The Repuhl lean
party will never correct this evil
this wrong, this outrage, this rob
nery and this stealing because the
protective system is its own child be

ACCORDING to Senator Morrill,,
of Vermont, the doors of this coun-
try should be opened for the admis.
sion of no foreigners except such
as could produce certificate of
good moral character. tMorality''
from national point of view is a
very elastic term. Down in YER
mont it is not considered moral to
drink hard cider or to play game
of dominos. Under the Vermont
standard very few Germans would
be able to produce certificate of
good moral character, except as to
their temperate disdain of such a
drink as hard cider.

think that the only way to take the
tariff issue out of politics is by a
compromise of opinion among Dem

luton. There is still another way.
Let members of Congress, Repub-
licans and Democrats, vote on a
measure of tax reduction as patriots
rather than as partisans. There j,

who desire such a tax reduction as
will bring the greatest measure of

COLLEGE PRESIDENTS or THE
MEssAGE.-The New York World
has published interviews with
Presidents of leading institutions
of learning in the United States,
nearly every one Of whom has most
heartily commended Cleveland's
Message. Presidents McCosh, OF
Princeton, and Adams, of Cornell,
and Professor Sumner, OF Yale,
had already spoken approvingly.
The venerable President of Har-
ward University, Charles w. Eliot,
says: president Cleveland's views
on tariff revisian and the reduction
of the surplus are sound economi-
cally, sagacious politically, and
thoroughly patriotic.
President F. A. p. Barnard. OF
Columbia College, writes: 81 knew
not whether more to admire the pro-
profound wisdom of its views or the
compact logic with which they are
enforced"
President z. n. Potter, of Hob
art College, says: Il value greatly
the educating power of a Message
presenting one clear, urgent issue
tending to the earnest discussion OF
economic questions in ever city and
hamlet in the land"
President McBryde, of the Uni
versity of South Carolina, says:
cit has struck the keynote of prac-
tical tariff reform, and will COM
mand the hearty approval of the
great majority of the people of this
State"
Such are the references to Pres
dent Cleveland's Message from the
leading teachers of the country, who
have devoted themselves to the
study of economic and social ques-
tions.

COMPULSORY education has been
tried in New York, and is pro-
nounced a failure, but for two most
conclusive reasons, as set forth by
the superintendent Of public instruc-
ton. He says "School trustees
elected to supervise the schools, and
serving without compensation, nat
urally object to being turned into
constables and police officers for the
purpose of apprehending delinquent
children or the children of delin-
quent parents. Moreover, the
schools are full.

The unneeded surplus in the
Treasury, President Cleveland says,
is extracted from "the industries
and necessities Of the country.
His plan of tax reduction is there
fore devised to hand the money
back to "the industries and neces-
Sites" Isn't that fair?
